Eeewww, even the word BUGS makes my skin crawl.<br /><br />MC: We aren't at the fogger stage yet because I know what a hassel it can be to wash EVERYTHING afterwards. Thanks for the encouragement :)<br /><br />Anonymous: My heart goes out to you for your tick experience... it sounds just awful, but I'm glad to hear that those little devils are now GONE! If we don't get any results after all of the dog's treatment, I am definitely going to look into natural treatments. Let's hope something works (my fingers are crossed)!<br /><br />Shebra: We do use a flea/tick preventative, but it has done nothing to deter these pesky little fellas. We have a new vet and are going to talk about switching to a different brand STAT! :)Quinn @ Kimchi and Sweet Teahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13108277504908086831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9148861890356659177.post-66831114753799047052011-05-16T20:42:10.547-04:002011-05-16T20:42:10.547-04:00Are you using a flea/tick preventative from the Ve...Are you using a flea/tick preventative from the Vet? If so, then call your vet and let them know it is not working. We use Sentinel once a month for our dog and Frontline during the summer. Haven't seen a tick on her for over a year now. We went camping and she didn't pick up any then either. Good luck.Shebrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04063622497058607801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9148861890356659177.post-66306896693741434182011-05-16T18:34:08.746-04:002011-05-16T18:34:08.746-04:00i had a bunch that hitchhiked onto my running shoe...i had a bunch that hitchhiked onto my running shoes and socks last summer and it was all i could do not to just light my house on fire and consider it a loss after a few weeks of those lil bloodsuckers running loose in my house.<br /><br />i ended up using those natural citrus based tick/flea killer sprays and they worked like a charm.<br /><br />supposedly they're non-toxic to kids and animals.<br /><br />best of luck.<br /><br />- sleepAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9148861890356659177.post-56906837816338921602011-05-16T15:52:21.577-04:002011-05-16T15:52:21.577-04:00Ticks freak me out too.

I've only had problem with flees...& we had to flea bomb the house (which was awful because we had to clean EVERYTHING afterwards)...or you can call in an expert to exterminate those creepy critters. I'd ask your vet (or Petsmart) & your pediatrician for advice about the ticks though. <br /><br />Good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
